To get the GPS working via the GNSS RF connector:

1. Unplug the connector from the Auxiliary RF connector

2. Connect it to GNSS RF connector.

To get the GPS working via the Auxiliary RF connector (Diversity antenna) - change the modem configuration:

1. Unlock password protected AT commands

	echo -ne 'AT!ENTERCND="A710"\r\n' > /dev/ttyUSB3

2. Set the autostart for GPS

	echo -ne 'AT!GPSAUTOSTART=1\r\n' > /dev/ttyUSB3

3. Set the GPS antenna to the aux port (diversity), where is the antenna connected, because by default: the "gnss rf" port is selected in the modem configuration.

	echo -ne 'AT!CUSTOM="GPSSEL",1\r\n' > /dev/ttyUSB3
